In Latin the word for "spirit" is "Anima," all creatures possess this.. humans and animals, too. The Latin word for "soul" is "Animus," and ONLY humans possess that.
Spirit is temporal, soul is eternal.

Soul is that which is associated with your body when you have life in you. And soul turns into a spirit when you die!

Spirit is the universal energy that every living thing is a fragment of and soul is your individual piece of this universal energy.
